The Talking Heads front man plays a visitor to Virgil, Texas, who introduces us to the citizens of the town during preparations for its Celebration of Specialness. As shot by cinematographer Ed Lachman, Texas becomes a hyperrealistic late-capitalist landscape of endless vistas, shopping malls, and prefab metal buildings. In True Stories, Byrne uses his songs to stitch together pop iconography, voodoo rituals, and a singular variety show--all in the service of uncovering the rich mysteries that lurk under the surface of everyday experience"--Container.DVD; region 1, NTSC; widescreen (1.85:1 aspect ratio); Dolby Digital 5.1 surround; color.- Subjects: Musical films.; Fiction films.; Video recordings for the hearing impaired.; Drama.; Feature films.; Comedy films.; Talent shows; Eccentrics and eccentricities; Bachelors; Mate selection;

- Top billin' : stories of laughter, lessons, and triumph / by Bellamy, Bill,1965-author.(CARDINAL)869500; Smith, Nicole E.,author.;
"Bill Bellamy went against the grain and left a promising corporate career path to pursue comedy (much to the dismay of his family). In TOP BILLIN', Bill reflects on his time at MTV during the 90s, where the cable music channel was at the epicenter of pop culture. Bellay recounts his legendary interviews with Tupac, Biggie, and Kurt Cobain, to ultimately befriending Janet Jackson, to coining the infamous term "booty call" on HBO's Def Comedy Jam. Bellamy broke color and class barriers during his time as a staple on MTV, appearing on the network four times a week of numerous MTV programs, including MTV Jamz and MTV Beach House. TOP BILLIN' provides an exclusive, all-access backstage pass to conversations with some of the decade's biggest artists, the best of the 90s celebri-tea, nostalgia, and insights on what it meant to be a tastemaker during one of the most exciting and innovative moments in music and American pop cultural history"--- Subjects: Autobiographies.; Bellamy, Bill, 1965-; African American actors; Comedians; Nineteen nineties.; Video jockeys;
